RAMALLAH, (PIC)-- Al-Ahrar center for prisoners’ studies and human rights said Saturday that the Israeli military court in Ofer prison, near the occupied city of Ramallah, decided to defer consideration in the trial of female prisoner Nada Al-Jayyousi for the seventh consecutive time without setting a new date.
The center noted that Jayyousi appeared in Israeli courts many times over the last two years and every time, the Israeli prosecutor refused to release her or to make a deal with her lawyer.
The center added that the prisoner is exposed to severe psychological and physical torture inside Israeli jails and investigation centers, affirming that the Israeli intelligence failed to condemn her, so they tried to extract confessions by force through threatening her with the arrest of her elder daughter Tasneem.
For his part, director of the center Fouad Al-Khafsh said that interrogating prisoner Jayyousi every month in Beit Eil interrogation center is sufficient evidence to condemn Israel for committing war crimes and crimes against humanity in the occupied Palestinian lands.
In another related context, the ministry of prisoners’ affairs announced that two Palestinian prisoners joined on Saturday the list of detainees who spent more than 20 years in Israeli jails.
Information director in the ministry Riyadh Al-Ashqar said that the list of those prisoners decreased in the past two days to 106 after the release of two Syrian detainees who were kidnapped in 1985, but it rose up again to 108 after new Palestinian prisoners called Magdi Ajuli and Mahmoud Jaradat exceeded their 20th year in prison.
Ashqar pointed out that the list of those prisoners rises almost every year, where there are hundreds of prisoners who have spent long years in prison and are about to join the list.

Ex-prisoner: Administrative detainees experience tragic incarceration conditions [ 18/10/2009 - 04:20 PM ]
NABLUS, (PIC)-- Sa'ed Yassin, an activist and researcher in prisoners' affairs, has said that Palestinian administrative detainees in Israeli occupation jails were suffering from tragic imprisonment conditions.
Yassin, himself an ex-prisoner, told the lawyer of the international Tadamun society in a visit that most of the administrative detainees in Negev and Ofer prisons were being held in crammed tents that do not provide protection from winter cold or summer heat.
They are served poor quality and quantity meals and are deprived of many rights guaranteed by international agreements and laws, he elaborated.
Yassin charged the IOA with violating the international law with its policy of administrative detention.
He said that the IOA resorts to administrative custody as part of collective punishment against the Palestinians, noting that the administrative detainee could be held for long years without trial or charge and without being informed of reasons for his/her detention.
